Ever since the Michigan Central Railroad
was built, 1t has been a favorite with the
travelling public, because its roadbed was
smooth, its cars elegant and its service adj
mlrable, but since the road built new bridge
across the Niagara River below the falls, and
a station called Falls View, right beside the
Horseshoe Fails, every body wants To 20
that way. Many people cannot stop at
Niagara Falls from one train to another. and
they never could see enough of the falls from
the old bridge To amount to anything: bat

Central gives its passengers the most beauti-
ful view tn DO seen on this earth. There may

Two very remarkable mascots are
on their way to this country. They
consist of the nearest approach to the
Darwinian missing link which have
ever been seen, for they are covered
from head to foot with hair foot
long, and their eyes, ears and nose are
hardly visible. The pair-they are
mother and son-were kept by King
Thee Baw, of Burmah, as mascots,
but they failed to maintain their
reputation on the occasion of the
British invasion, and were captured
by the same soldiers who, on van
gushing the Ashantees, triumphantly
bore off the royal umbrella. The
missing links are sufficiently human
to know their value from q dime
museum point of view, and after q
triumphant season in London they
are crossing the Atlantic in search of
urther plumber.
